Three dogs were harmonious; Loli was the second to arrive. After the new year she suddenly keeps biting the first dog (a Golden Retriever) on the ear; the Golden doesn’t fight back, just howls. Now she does it anytime, day or night, circling and biting the left ear until it bleeds and swells. She even bites it when strangers come or when we return.
Common reasons a dog persistently bites another include territorial protection, pain or discomfort, grudges, and defending social status.
